Character Name: Slayer
Kingdom: Arc System Works
Written Description: Slayer has the appearance of an elderly man, to whom class is quite important. Slayer's attire reflects his refined nature: he wears a white undershirt beneath a rather professional-looking gray suit. The sleeves of his coat bear red-cross shaped emblems, a reference to his vampire nature. Slayer has brown hair, usually slicked to the side, complemented by a short well-kept beard and a pencil-thin mustache. He wears a monocle, and is often found smoking a pipe
Personality: Having lived for a very long time, Slayer possesses a strengthened sense of perspective, and as such, he generally remains calm and dignified regardless of the situation in which he finds himself. He is civil to practically everyone he meets, no matter how rough, and he likes being both helpful and dependable. Despite this, he is not without passion. Slayer is a lover of refined things; poetry, romance, and often stops to admire the beauty he sees in the world, and in those younger than himself. In combat, his blood boils, and although he is occasionally frustrated by the lack of challenge others are capable of presenting him with, he is ever graceful to those with whom he fights, offering them congratulations for a good performance, and usually assisting them with a warning or a bit of advice. His proper nature leads him to preferring that his surroundings be clean, ordered, and mature. Very seldom is Slayer in any sort of rush to do anything, and at time he seems unable to understand the gravitas of important situations
Game: Guilty Gear
Current Story: It was with altruistic ideals in mind that Slayer founded the Assassins' Guild, but after his disappearance soon after the organization began its descent into corruption. When Slayer eventually returned and found, through interaction with the assassin Millia Rage, that his syndicate had fallen far from his original intentions, he made up his mind to dismantle it. Having bid farewell to his wife Sharon and emerged from his quiet retirement, he crushed the new leader of the guild, Zato-1. Afterward, he embarked on a journey of observation around the world with Sharon, closely observing numerous important humans. Some time later, having put aside his struggles with the idea that he no longer belonged in this young people's world, he founded a gentlemen's fight club. When his retirement was interrupted again by the appearance of a being from the Backyard, a hellish parallel world and the source of all magic, he grew uneasy and partnered with Venom and Millia of the refurbished Assassins' Guild in order to sate his curiosity about the mysterious new happenings inundating the country.

General AbilitiesSlot One. Dandy Step: A means of evasion and strike chaining that forms a significant part of his offensive and defensive ability. Slayer can use this technique to slide backward and then forward again at high speed, which enables him to duck and dodge out of the way of danger before retaliating with a special attack. The special attack in question can be Pile Bunker (a straightforward punch), Crosswise Heel (a pair of kicks that strike high), Under Pressure (an upward swipe), It's Late (a downward punch) and Helter Skelter (a hop to the opponent's other side, then a double kick). The speed at which Slayer moves when attacking with a Dandy Step follow-up creates a blue flare, which is more stylistic than anything else. However, this technique's evasive power comes only from his body movement; anything that does manage to touch him will hurt more than normal since he's unable to block while doing it. It can also get predictable, and its repeated use tires Slayer out quickly.

Strengths+Vampire Physiology: Slayer has an amazing healing factor in his home universe, though in the crossover realm his regeneration is much slower in general, but especially in combat. Though he finds it distasteful and will rarely do it, Slayer can suck blood, and doing so speeds up his regeneration. Notably, Slayer is not at all affected by conventional vampire weaknesses; he enjoys a good sunbath, shrugs of a stake to the heart, can eat garlic for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and wears a cross for his tie. Being a vampire, Slayer doesn't age, doesn't need to sleep, doesn't need to eat, and doesn't need to drink. His extremely long lifespan and vast amount of experience have combined to make him exceptionally intuitive
+Strong: When it comes to combat, Slayer's forte (outside of durability) is his strength, which is above average as far as his opponents are concerned
+Caped: Slayer's mantle is animate, and according to his will it can reshape itself very quickly. Since it is cloth, it is not suitable as any sort of weapon, but its versatility makes it extremely convenient. He can use it as wings to boost himself up to a high place, as a shield, as a chair, and so forth
+Classy: Of course, Slayer is the soul of 'dandy'. His manners are without equal, his appearance is as refined as his taste, and he is very knowledgeable about all things gentlemanly
Weaknesses-Mobility: When it comes to movement, Slayer can be described as straightforward and stiff. He can jump alright, but he doesn't typically run, airdash, roll, or any such acrobatic maneuver
-Range: The number of attacks available to Slayer that extend beyond melee range can be counted with less than one hand. Don't expect him to be throwing out much of anything else
-Sandbagging: While many characters can be said to be holding back their true power, so many that it rightfully is viewed as a cliché, Slayer takes this rule to heart. Under no circumstances will he release his full power, and he never takes things seriously. If he feels that he should be defeated in a certain situation, he will concede without hesitation
